The mission of the Corpus Christi Police Department Organized Crime Unit (OCU) is to collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information regarding those individuals suspected of engaging in criminal conspiracies, white collar crime, public corruption, terrorism, or membership in prison, street, or outlaw motorcycle gangs. The Captain of the OCU reports directly to the Investigations Assistant Chief of Police.

OCU partners with the United States Secret Service to provide dignitary protection and is the region’s premiere unit to conduct forensic analysis of all types of digital media. OCU also has the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which works in a regional capacity to prevent the online predation of children.
